During initial charge, how long should a battery be charged? Solution Always re-insert the battery immediately while replacing it. Data may be lost if the battery has been removed for a long time.

Remember that a battery, after lying on a shelf for some time, usually takes 2 to 4 full charges and discharges before it achieves its full potential. To optimize battery life and conserve power, you can adjust the Power management settings for display, backlight, and light sensor. The `Backlight timeout' specifies the time the light on the display will be tuned on to its brightest setting. When off, the screen is still active and is viewable in certain light conditions. The `Display timeout' will turn off the display entirely while leaving the device on to continue receiving calls or performing data operations. Your phone may be configured to shut off the display after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power. To turn the screen on again, press any key. You can adjust the display time-out using the Power management settings. Check the Sounds settings by clicking Start > Settings > Sounds. Check the current profile. Your phone may be in silent mode.

Phone My phone says that it is blocked and that I need a PUK. The SIM card on your phone is usually blocked when your SIM PIN is entered three times incorrectly. You can unblock it by obtaining the PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) from your service provider.

Active Sync ActiveSync operation cannot be performed or connected. `Key Lock' on a Windows Mobile device refers to locking the numeric keypad so numbers cannot accidentally be pressed while the device is being held in a pocket or case, preventing unexpected calls or actions to occur. The `Key Lock' can be disabled without a password. `Phone Lock' provides the ability to place a password on the device. This allows the user to restrict access to data located on the phone should it be misplaced. The `Headset' profile will be automatically selected when the device recognizes that a headset or hands free device has been plugged into the device. To enable the speakerphone, you must have an open call and click Menu > Speakerphone On. An icon will appear on the title bar indicating that the speakerphone profile is engaged. It is necessary to enable the speakerphone for each call as it will be turned off once a call is ended. Turn down the volume.

If the transfer rate is faster, the connection may be too sensitive.
